Shocking Tranquilizer Dart — Detailed Guide
Twice the knockout of a Tranquilizer Dart
Fired from a 
Longneck Rifle, this dart knocks targets out twice as effectively as the 
Tranquilizer Dart, while dealing no more damage. It appears in ARK: Survival Ascended and ARK: Survival Evolved, and its description reads: "A doubly potent dart full of refined Cnidaria toxin, which also shocks humans. For use in a Longneck rifle. Can not be used with attachments."
How the torpor builds up
Each hit deals 26 base damage, a figure that grows with the quality of the rifle. Torpor then rises by 1200% of the damage straight away and by another 500% across the next 5 seconds, adding up to 442 torpor with a 100% Longneck Rifle. A second dart that lands before the first has finished extends the effect in time: a target with 2 seconds of torpor gain left ends up with 7 seconds.
Hitting other players
The dart can also stop a player from moving. A player shot while riding falls off the mount, but a shot at the mount does not dismount its rider. The ARK Wiki adds that a player wearing Riot Armor is locked up for roughly 5 seconds, and one in Flak Armor for about 10.
Crafting, spoilage and storage
The engram unlocks at level 96 for 30 engram points, with the Tranquilizer Dart as its prerequisite. A 
Fabricator produces one dart per craft in 1 second for 0.05 XP; the ARK Wiki also lists the 
Tek Replicator. Each dart takes:
- 3
Bio Toxin - 2
Metal Ingot (or 
Scrap Metal Ingot) - 1 Tranquilizer Dart
Before patch 255.0 the recipe used 
Simple Rifle Ammo where the Tranquilizer Dart is now. After 4 hours a dart spoils into a Tranquilizer Dart. A 
Refrigerator gives it a multiplier of around 18x instead of the 100x other spoiling items get, so the ARK Wiki considers storing Bio Toxin the more efficient option. The dart loaded in the rifle does not expire until it is taken out. A dart weighs 0.2 and stacks to 100, a full stack weighing 20. Our records count 40 loot crates that can contain it, among them the Dragon Hoard and Genesis Part 2 mission crates such as 'Bulbdog Fetch' and 'Circuit Chase'.
